La Cite des Cloches (Sora)

When you first access La Cite des Cloches you’ll enter a Dive Mode sequence. Your goal here is to defeat fifteen enemies. Once that’s done a portal will appear. You’ll be run through a quick tutorial showing you how to use the Faithline. Use the portal and a cutscene will trigger. After it ends you’ll be in the Town portion La Cite des Cloches. You’ll be instructed to Hurry to the Square. You can exit the Town area through an archway in the northwestern most corner of the Town map.

Taking this exit will lead you to the Square where a cutscene will trigger after which you’ll be attacked by a group of Dream Eaters. Defeat them and you’ll receive a new Spirit recipe. A cutscene will then trigger after which you’ll be instructed to Track Down Quasimodo in the Cathedral. Run up the stairs in the center of the northern part of the area and you’ll find a pair of large double doors. These will lead you in to the Nave area. The area itself is very large but there’s little of interest to be found, save for a few treasure chests in its northern-most section. You’ll also find a Faithline that you can use to reach upper levels of the Nave area, though these too hold little of interest. To advance, climb the stairs on the southwestern side of the map right near the entrance.

This will take you to the roof of the Cathedral. The roof will be split between an eastern and western tower. Run to the eastern side of the western tower to find a door leading to the Bell Tower. Enter the door and a cutscene will trigger. After it ends you’ll be instructed to Find Out Where Quasimodo went. Use the save point in the Bell Tower if you want and then exit back outside.

Head back down to the Nave area and then exit out into the Square and head toward the exit leading to the Town. A cutscene will trigger as you near it. When it ends you’ll receive new instructions: Track Down Esmeralda in the Court of Miracles. Head through the exit into the Town and you’ll encounter three flower Dream Eaters. The three together have created thorns that will now block off certain parts of the Town, including the doors leading to the next area. Before you can continue you need to kill the flower Dream Eaters to remove the thorns. The flower Dream Eaters aren’t overly difficult to beat but watch out for the flower stalks that line the streets. They will grow toxic seeds that they’ll then disperse through the air. If these touch you they’ll poison you.

The Town is split into roughly three sections. The first can be easily accessed by exiting the Square, but there’s no clear path to the center or northeastern corner of the map. After you destroy the first flower Dream Eater near the beginning of the ma you should see some stacked crates down one of the adjoining streets you can climb atop to reach the center part of the Town. This will also bring you to a Faithline node you can use to move easily around the map. You’ll find the second flower Dream Eater in the center part of the map. Once it’s beaten use the Faithline to zip over to the northeastern corner where you’ll find the third. Defeat this final flower Dream Eater and the thorn barrier blocking the doorway in the center portion of the map will become accessible.

Use the doors and you’ll be taken to the southern part of the Bridge. Work your way north up the bridge. You should reach a point about three quarters of the way up the length of the bridge where the path is obstructed and you won’t be able to go any further. There should be a Faithline node you can use to shoot over the obstacles blocking you way. Once you’re past them continue forward. You’ll shortly come to another spot where it will look like the path is blocked. This time however the barrels blocking your way will be destructible. Smash through them and when you reach the end of the bridge you’ll exit into an area called the Outskirts.

When you enter the Outskirts you’ll be on the western side of the map. There’s no much in the southern section of the map so work your way east. The streets should lead you to an exit point that will take you to Graveyard Gate. A brief walk from the Outskirts exit you’ll find a save point. Use it if you want and then continue past it to enter the graveyard that gives this place its name. Work your way to the northeastern corner of the graveyard and you’ll find a tomb that will lead down into an area known as the Tunnels.

When you enter the Tunnels you’ll be on the western side of the map. Work your west and you’ll come to an area flooded with purple gas. If you touch the gas it will drain your Drop Gauge faster. The gas will be pouring out of a pot resting on top of a cliff. Use the Faithline nodes that run through the area to reach it. Once you’ve destroyed it hope down from the cliff to the ground below. Head east and you’ll come to what seems like a dead end. You may notice your Spirit ally sniffing around a section of wall. This portion of the wall can be destroyed, creating an opening that will lead you to an exit.

This exit will take to the northwestern corner of the Old Graveyard. Fight your way to the southeastern corner of the map where you’ll find an open tomb that will lead you to the entrance of the Catacombs. Follow the tunnel to its end and you’ll come to a dead end. There will be a side passage that will take you into a room filled with more toxic gas. There’s a string of Faithline nodes you can use to move through the room and reach the gas pot. Once you’ve cleared out the gas jump down to floor below.

Clear away the enemies that appear and then sweep through the area. It looks like a dead end but if you watch your Spirit allies they should sniff out a destructible section of wall you can break to reveal the exit. Run through to find the Court of Miracles. Once inside the Court of Miracles you should see a save point and a Moogle Shop. Use them if you want and then continue forward. You should find Esmeralda roughly in the center of the map. Talk to her to trigger a cutscene. When the cutscene ends you’ll be back in the Square area and in a boss battle against a Nightmare named Wargoyle.

Boss Fight: Wargoyle

Fighting Wargoyle you should adhere to one very general rule: keep your distance. His close combat game is very good. He has a wide array of powerful melee attacks that will outright punish you if you try to rush in and hit him with your Keyblade. Every now and then he’ll perform a powerful melee strike where he’ll stumble and fall if it misses. When this happens feel free to pummel him to your hearts desire. Otherwise, focus on hitting him with ranged spells if you fancy staying alive to finish the fight. Once you beat Wargoyle a cutscene will trigger, ending the story portion of La Cite de Cloches.
